[seam-dev] PARAM_BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE

Hey guys, During the panel discussion last night as JSF One, I learned about an undocumented feature in Facelets, which may be just the solution you were looking for, Christian, regarding stale views on a login or other public form page. Facelets has the ability to build the view during the restore view phase if on postback the view state couldn't be found. You simply set the context parameter PARAM_BUILD_BEFORE_RESTORE to true. As it turns out, this is going to be the default behavior in JSF 2.0 to avoid the very problem that you observed, that a stale login page would reject a login, throw up a confusing message, and ask the user to try again. -Dan -- Dan Allen Software consultant | Author of Seam in Action http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction NOTE: While I make a strong effort to keep up with my email on a daily basis, life and work come first and, at times, keep me away from my mail for a while.
